Narrative:

The takeoff was right into the sun and made the instrument panel harder to see so switched to autoplt. The asel was set at 2000 ft (should have been set to 1500 ft) and I tried to level the aircraft at 1500 ft and overshot by 180 ft maybe 200 ft. I immediately disconnected the autoplt in an attempt to correct the error as we were turning to 280 degree heading. The crew had briefed the departure but only the final altitude was set. If there is an intermediate altitude it should be set first. Once captured the PNF should set the next altitude. Let the autoplt fly (monitor; but it usually does a better job). Aircraft -- falcon 2000.

Title: BE10 FLT CREW FAILS TO COMPLY WITH 1500 FT MSL RESTR ON TEB DEP FROM TEB.

Narrative: THE TAKEOFF WAS RIGHT INTO THE SUN AND MADE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HARDER TO SEE SO SWITCHED TO AUTOPLT. THE ASEL WAS SET AT 2000 FT (SHOULD HAVE BEEN SET TO 1500 FT) AND I TRIED TO LEVEL THE ACFT AT 1500 FT AND OVERSHOT BY 180 FT MAYBE 200 FT. I IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED THE AUTOPLT IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE ERROR AS WE WERE TURNING TO 280 DEG HEADING. THE CREW HAD BRIEFED THE DEP BUT ONLY THE FINAL ALT WAS SET. IF THERE IS AN INTERMEDIATE ALT IT SHOULD BE SET FIRST. ONCE CAPTURED THE PNF SHOULD SET THE NEXT ALT. LET THE AUTOPLT FLY (MONITOR; BUT IT USUALLY DOES A BETTER JOB). ACFT -- FALCON 2000.
